Biggest 1 day gross is largely a useless number unless you control for inflation.

I'm surprised people find the main guy in it attractive quite honestly.

 


I know, that guy looks like a crack adict. Besides the acting is horrible.

Kasz - New Moon still holds the record even after inflation.

The OP is incredibly wrong with weekend estimates (not the thread-creators fault, just the post).
The estimate was $21m on Saturday. The actual was double that, at $42 million.

Crazy stuff. It's quasi-deserved. The female teenage market hasn't been serviced this well since Titanic.

Hm no kidding.

Maybe the economy IS improving.

Eh then again I seem to recall movie theatres doing really good money... leading to the popularisation of horror movies for the first time.

People tend to buy more entertainment products when the economy is bad. Theaters have done very, VERY well this year and is greatly outpacing last year's cume. There've been a lot of standout surprises like Taken and The Hangover which did insane at the box office, despite the thought they would do poorly.

Sans some people's opinion of New Moon, it's been one of the smartest years at the Box Office, too. You had top-tier, well reviewed movies do insanely well while bad ones got pummled. I guess the age of Twitter and Facebook is greatly helping spread news about good movies.

  • Paranormal Activity
  • Taken
  • Gran Torino
  • The Hangover
  • District 9
  • Inglorious Basterds
  • Zombieland

All did above-average at the BO, and were very good movies. I know I've watched more movies this year at the BO than just about any other. Oh, and we still have Avatar this year. Worldwide, it was the same as Ice Age 3 came from nowhere and ripped up the worldwide BO.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Interesting.  Come to think of it this year there were a lot of movies I actually wanted to see... Inglorius Bastards and Zombieland at the top of the list.

Problem with me is... I can't stand the Box Office.

It was bad enough in Ohio... now that i live in Las Vegas it's over $20 before you get through the gates if i take my girlfriend out.
